This document discusses cloud computing and its benefits over traditional on-site software and hardware models. Cloud computing offers lower upfront costs through software subscriptions rather than licensing, and reduces ongoing costs by hosting hardware and managing maintenance, support, security and connectivity. The cloud market is growing significantly and more applications are becoming available through the cloud like email, storage, CRM and basic accounting software. Companies should evaluate long-term stability, financial viability, customer service, and data access policies when considering cloud solutions.

- #10: Server Virtualization/Multi-tenancyVirtual machine (VM) is a software implementation of a machine (i.e. a computer) that executes programs like a physical machine. Virtual machines are separated into two major categories, based on their use and degree of correspondence to any real machine. A system virtual machine provides a complete system platform which supports the execution of a complete operating system (OS). In contrast, a process virtual machine is designed to run a single program, which means that it supports a single process. An essential characteristic of a virtual machine is that the software running inside is limited to the resources and abstractions provided by the virtual machine—it cannot break out of its virtual world. Shared resourcesMulti-tenancy refers to a principle in software architecture where a single instance of the software runs on a server, serving multiple client organizations (tenants). Multi-tenancy is contrasted with a multi-instance architecture where separate software instances (or hardware systems) are set up for different client organizations. With a multitenant architecture, a software application is designed to virtually partition its data and configuration, and each client organization works with a customized virtual application instance.
